“The pilgrim worried that sometimes he would not have much time to care for his love relationship with God. Then the Lord spoke to him, and answered his unspoken question: “Do you have only one minute? Hem it with quietness. Do not spend it in thinking how little time you have. I can give you much in one minute. The pilgrim sat by the water, and his dear Lord said to him: As the ripples of the river glance up to the light, let your heart glance up to Me in little looks of love very often through the day.” Amy Carmichael

What others are saying about this year’s calendar:

“We love your calendar! My sister uses hers at her work place. I think it is where she goes when she needs to get grounded and centered in God’s beauty around us.”

“Santa didn’t come yet, but it feels almost like it. Andrew Larsen’s calendars arrived. More beautiful every year.”

“Got your beautiful calendars in the mail today! Thank you!”

“You have the most awesome pictures!”

“Got mine in the mail yesterday. Thanks, Andy. It’s beautiful”

“Spectacular images that illustrate one of my ‘go-to’ psalms…Just what I’ve been waiting for to ‘gift’ my New Year with blessing! Thanks, Andy!”

“We received our calendars this week– so beautiful and I loved all the quotes! We are giving them to co-workers and friends for Christmas– a gift focused on peacemaking seems especially important this year after the divisiveness and negative rhetoric of the presidential campaign!”

We are more alike than different

Biologically, our ancestral differences reflect only a 0.1 percent difference in DNA. Yet we often cling to those differences — both in unity with our fellow people of origin and, at times, in divisiveness.

Over all, the experiment has provided a special opportunity to explore the lines of race. I found that as human beings, our strategies for survival are the same, and our similarities far outweigh our differences.

Do Something for Peace

Thanks for stopping by. I'm in constant search for beauty, and try to capture it with my camera. I also look for ways to restore shalom between cultures and peoples that may not see the image of God in their other. I seek to follow Jesus and his invitation to make peace. I love photography, coffee, hiking, time with friends, and a good book. Poke around here. Enjoy the pictures, reflections and stories.
